American comedy Hot Rod was released in 2007 and was written by Pam Brady and directed by Akiva Schaffer (in his debut as a filmmaker). Andy Samberg plays amateur stuntman Rod Kimble in the movie. His stepfather, Frank (Ian McShane), constantly makes fun of and disrespects him. Rod pulls off his biggest trick yet to raise money for Frank’s heart operation after he falls ill. Bill Hade, Sissy Spacek, Danny McBride, Isla Fisher, JormaTaccone, and Will Arnett also appear in the movie.
The movie was originally intended as a vehicle for Saturday Night Live star Will Ferrell and was first written by Pam Brady. The Lonely Island, which was becoming well-known for their work on Saturday Night Live, was persuaded by Lorne Michaels to take over the project. The group later reworked the script, placing a strong emphasis on bizarre, unusual humor.
1. “You have only to believe if you wish to achieve. That rhymed, unintentional.” – Rod Kimble
Nothing is possible if you are not ambitious about it because only when a person is enthusiastic about it will they be able to accomplish in life. The quote by Rod is expressed in an inspirational way since it implies that one can only achieve things in life if they believe it.
As long as you believe, you can accomplish everything you set your mind to. If one has a strong enough belief and acts on that belief, they can become anything they want to be since the mind is capable of creating and achieving everything they can imagine.
2. “Life is pain. We’ve got to scrape the joy from every chance we get.” – Rod Kimble
This quote is about enjoying life and being happy because life is said to be painful, but one must take advantage of every opportunity to do so because life is too short to worry about every small thing. We only have a limited amount of time on earth compared to the sun, moon, and other celestial bodies, therefore it is pointless to waste it worrying about things. Instead, have fun, live in the moment, and never look back.
3. “Never underestimate your opponent.” – Frank Powell
There is no greater danger in life than underestimating your opponent and believing that they are weak in front of you. It is wrong to believe that you are stronger than anyone else in front of them, but it is also important to avoid overestimating your opponent and believing that they are insufficient. When it matters most, if you don’t believe you can win, you’ll make cowardly choices out of pure respect for your opponent.
You recognise the chance but also more restrictions than you ought to. Even when there was no logical justification for it, I have always had confidence in what I do on the chessboard. Overestimating your possibilities is preferable to underestimating them.
4. “Rod Kimble: All great men have moustaches!
Frank: Yeah, but real men actually grow them!
Rod Kimble: You know I have a hormone disorder!
Frank: Ooh!”
Hormones, which are proteins produced by the body and help organs and tissues perform certain functions, They control how well your body can absorb and utilise nutrients and have the capability to develop and procreate. Hormone issues are brought on by hormonal imbalance, which can occur when one or more hormones are present in excessive or inadequate amounts.
As a result of a hormonal disorder, Rod Kimble was unable to grow a moustache, so he used to stick one. In the quote, he tells Frank that when Rod Kimble claims that real men actually grow moustaches, he then reveals the hormonal disorder. Frank then learns that Rod Kimble does not actually have a real moustache.
5. “I’m not going to lie to you. That move does exist, but you’re not ready for it yet Rod.- Denise Harris
Rod, a stuntman who is prone to accidents and makes numerous futile efforts to land jumps with his Tomos moped, is mentioned in this remark. After another unsuccessful attempt at a jump at a public pool, he goes home and finds out that Frank needs a heart transplant immediately, but the family’s health insurance will not pay for it. Rod, who is furious that Frank would pass away before he could earn his respect, flees into the woods to vent his rage.
As he tumbles down a steep slope, he comes across an encouraging billboard and receives an inspiration. Later, his neighbor and potential love interest Denise joins his squad. Rod had the notion to make a stuntman movie and release it to raise money.He hears music coming from Kevin’s computer one day and wonders what he’s working on. Kevin shows Rod the film and explains that he was experimenting with editing video. Rod is inspired to create a stuntman movie in order to raise money after seeing Kevin’s creative work.
The crowd at the screening laughs at Rod as the movie exposes his unsuccessful training attempts. Kevin distributes the movie utilizing his footage of Rod’s stunts and sells a number of tickets.
6. “I’ve got a tattoo here that fully illustrates my point. It’s of this rebellious young man, and he’s urinating on an FM radio, and then this other stream of urine is going onto that television set. Implausible, I know, but I like to think that he had s*x the night before, and a little bit of residue is blocking his urethra, allowing the urine to flow in two separate directions.” – Barry Pasternak
The fact that Barry said he got a tattoo right here to support my claim is evident from this quotation. An FM radio is shown being urinated on by a young man acting rebelliously, who then sprays another stream of pee into a screen. Even though it’s ridiculous, I like to think that he had s*x the night before and that some of the residual stuff is blocking his urethra, forcing the urine to flow in two opposite directions.
7. “We don’t talk much, do we? Kathy, was it? My name’s Rod. I do awesome stunts all the time with my friends. You probably didn’t know that, and you probably have lots of cool stuff about you that I don’t know. Point is, if you don’t sit down with someone and really talk and get to know them, you’ll never find those things out. So, what do you say? Want to make this thing official?” – Rod Kimble
In this quote, Rod is talking to Kathy about how they have not spoke to each other much and he also says to Kathy that she must be having other things that are important than him and have cool things to do but Rod wanted to talk to Kathy as she wanted to know him and find out about her and the other things, so he asks her if she wants to make this official and wants to be friends with her and get to know her as he is often lonely and wants to know someone personally.
8. “Life is short. Stunt it!” -Rod Kimble
He said he could perform any trick, but he can’t. He makes an attempt to be motivational about life in this phrase, but in actuality, he is incapable of pulling off even the most basic prank.As a result, this quote is ironic in that it talks about living life righteously, but in reality, he is incapable of performing even one stunt correctly.
It also illustrates how dangerous it is for him to be incapable of performing the right stunts, as safety is a crucial component of performing stunts. Through this quote, we can see how risky it is for him to be incapable ofwe can also see the irony of his life and how challenging it is to make a living, but he is doing it because he needs to make money for his father’s surgery.
Despite working extremely hard, he still had a very difficult time making ends meet.
9. “Please, God, don’t let me embarrass myself in front of Denise.”-Rod Kimble
Rod throws up kind of prayers that Kevin repeats before he physically fights with Frank on what seems to be virtually a daily basis. Rod would say, “Ancestors, protect me,” to which Kevin might reply, “May they protect you.” For assistance with each significant prank, Rod murmurs truly ludicrous prayers to numerous “totem spirits,” including housecats, an eagle, a dolphin, a fox, and an octopus.
10. “Rod Kimble: Hey, everybody! I got some awesome news. We have a new crew member today, Denise. So I thought it would be fun if we all went around and said our name and a little something about ourselves. I’ll start. My name is Rod, and I like to party. All right, Dave, you’re up.
Dave: Uh, hi. Uh, my name is Dave, and uh… I like to party.
Uh, no, Dave. I just said that I party, so maybe you could do something different from me.”
Beer is a staple for Rod, Dave, and Rico. When discussing their personality to Denise, all three exclaim enthusiastically, “I like to party!” At a bar, Rod, Denise, and Jonathan each enjoy a beer with a shot of booze added to it. In a fit of despondency, Rod visits a grocery store and fills his cart to the brim with alcoholic beverages of every description. Dave is seen carrying what appears to be hard whiskey in a brown bag.
11. “You’re wrong, Frank. I’m nokid, I’m a man. I am gonna get you better, and then going to beat you to death!”
This quote is about the ongoing and often reiteratedplot point is Rod’s motivation to save his stepfather.He promises, “I’m going to make you better.” If it happens, I’ll beat you to death. It turns out that during Rod’s whole childhood, his mother has routinely lied to him about a significant issue.After a missed jump, Rod throws up. A grown man would “poop in his pants” if he performed the tai chi motion he requests Denise to demonstrate for him.
12. “Rod Kimble: You look pretty.
Denise: What?
Rod Kimble: I said you look shitty.”
This statement indicates that he has a strong crush on Denise but is reluctant to tell her the truth, thus he is keeping his feelings hidden from her.He is also struggling with the awkwardness of the conversation as evidenced by the fact that when he says that Denise is looking pretty, she asks what he was referring to, and he then clarifies that he meant that she was looking shitty. By doing this, it is clear that he is trying to avoid the topic.
